She was the best Villain in Corrie. I think its about time Corrie brought her back. Ive written to the actress numerous times demanding she return but had no reply yet. Its not as if she is busy. Ive only seen her on Casualty and that was years ago.

Anyway how would you bring her back?

Id have her return as the new barmaid for the Rovers. She gets back together with Dev and together they murder Claire.

The only way she could be credibly brought back would be to kill Dev.

She could never be a 'normal' character...and she certainly would NOT work behind the Rovers bar!

The idea of Dev suddenly turning into a murderer and doing Claire in is stretching the bounds of credibility somewhat I suppose Maya could come back and hold Amber hostage and Dev could realise just how much he loves his daughter. I'd hate to see Amber suffer, though. She's such an ace character. Do you think Corrie really needs to bring back someone like Maya?

Her trail maybe! Rather than more over the top nonsense it would be good to see her actually go to trial for her crimes. Arson, kidnap, attempted murder she would be looking at a very stretch inside, yet not once has Dev mentioned going to trial. It was 2 years ago now it must have come up!

Good point, rubberymonkey. I think trials are only featured in soaps if there's doubt about the outcome. It is one of those daft things about soaps that once a storyline is ended it's rarely mentioned again. At least the Platts have referred to Richard Hillman lots of times, which is good.

I wouldn't bring her back. It'd be a bad move to have maya back on the cobbles again.

I agree. What Corrie needs is to move back into the family side of the soap, with storylines focused on sane individuals rather than nutters with a grudge. Give us more Eileen!

How would you bring Maya back to Corrie?

Not, never, ever ! I disliked the character and the actress. I was all a bit too far fetched IMO.

I just want her back as a normal character, maybe she can be forgiven. Its not as if she killed anyone.

Do you think if I set up a petition to bring her back it will work?

I'd love for the camera to be focused on Dev in bed just closing his eyes, then he opens them and Maya is there, with a knife or something, and says I'm baaaaaaaaack.

Maya was a brilliant character and I think the actor Jimmi Harkishin's drug problems scuppered her trial/return in 2005. Since then, Corrie has moved on and I suppose she is still languishing in a mental hospital? If someone recovered, would they be released or have to stand trial for their crimes?

I wouldn't bring her back. She was a good character and an excellent villain but she's done her bit. It wouldn't work if she was brought back and it could potentially ruin her character.

I'd only bring her back to kill off Dev.

I'd love for her to make a return though. She was great.

I wouldn't bring her back at all. What would be the point? That storyline's over and done with. End of.

I would bring her back as Maya's evil twin Loretta who comes to see Dev to apologise for what her sister did after his daughter amber is killed in a racially motivated gang attack on his corner shop.

Loretta is very attractive and an emotional Dev is drawn to her. She makes him fall in love with her, they become engaged and then get married. Once married she gets Dev to sell a few of his shops so that she can start up her new hairdressing business. When the money is in her bank account she devises a plan in which she murders dev. She has a friend who she pays to do it, he works in a restaraunt and ensures that he puts a trace of nut in his ice cream sundae for desert.

Dev is alergic to nuts and chokes to death. The investigation shows that Devs tragic death was a tragic accident. Loretta plays the grieving widow but decides that the memories of coronation street are too much to bear. She sells everything that Dev owns and collects all his money to start a new life.

We see her going to the airport where she meets her real sister Amelia whom she paid £200,000 to swap places with at the hospital ward before she was taken to the mental institution. Maya is then seen sitting on a plane to Milan holding a picture of Dev saying "Oh my Devendra I couldnt have you now no women will"

I don't agree, I think Maya should comeback. She was great.The trial would be the most logical way. Perhaps they could bring Suntia back for a handful of episodes.

An old crooked window is opened on a council estate...Maya is standing inside!

The camera zooms in to the house and she has pictures of Dev all round the room, walking down streets, getting in cars, with Amber, with the twins, with Sunita.

Dev walks past Maya's house and her head follows him as he walks down the street. She's plotting something...

Maya starts watching the corner shop and one day when Dev is out, she makes her move. Maya searches around inside through Dev's things, she writes things on Dev's walls and leaves.

Maya returns when Dev leaves again...but this time Amber's inside. Maya kidnaps Amber and ties her up in the shop, waiting for Dev to return. Maya torments Amber until Dev returns with Sunita, they were going to get back together (they've left the twins in the car).

Sunita tries to run but Maya grabs her hair and swings her back into the wall, knocking her unconcious. Amber tries to stop Maya when she starts attacking Dev but Maya's lighter is in her hand, the shop goes up in flames.

Sunita's unconcious in one corner, Amber trapped in the other, Dev in the middle and Maya by the door. Maya is throwing stuff at Dev, but unknown to her Sunita has awoke and smacks her round the head with a bottle of wine, which explodes the building.

Dev helps Amber to escape and they get out fine, but Dev goes back in and tries to rescue Sunita, he wakes her up again and they try to walk out. But Maya grabs Dev's leg just as Sunita's going out, Sunita calls for Dev but he says to her to go. The fire spreads to the alcohol and the ceiling collapses...killing Dev and Maya.

Amber blames herself because she started the fire, so she returns to live with her mum.

Sunita moves back to the flat with the twins and isn't heard of again...

If she was to come back, I'd prefer it if her 'madness' was much more discreet so the length of time she was in the soap spanned out more. Idealy she'd have a high position, perhaps buying into Underworld and using the workers as her minions to stir shite and plant suggestions into their heads. Not sure what the climax would be though.

Edit - or if scone is correct.. a ghost might be the ideal suggestion!

I would never bring her back - unless it was to kill Deeevvvvvv and his long vowels off once and for all. Sasha Behar couldn't even act.
